The Thule model is well made, has sturdy straps with good buckles and an easy way of tying down to the trunk sides and bottom. I use it for a 27 lb bike and a 37 lb three wheel recumbent. The rubber saddles and straps are good. For my heavy recumbent bike I had to place hose clamps on the bars to prevent the saddles from moving. The bars holding the bikes can be rotated down for storage but with a little difficulty in pressing the two buttons to release the arms.
I bought the three bike unit because it has a higher listed weight capacity but I suspect it is the same product as the two bike unit but with longer bars.
The saddles and straps save time. I no longer need to spend much time using bungee cords. It is important to get the trunk side and bottom straps snug so they don't loosen on the road.
I called Thule and got an answer to my question about the height of the assembly.
This is a good product and I am glad I bought it.
Excellent Buy! September 28, 2008

I've owned this bike rack for approximately a month now and I am very happy with my purchase. Thule is a great product and I'm very happy that I purchased this bike rack. It's very easy to install and fits practically all makes and models of cars. The manual did not recommend the bike rack for my boyfriend's 2001 Ford Taurus, but it fit fine and we were comfortable with traveling with the bike rack on his car. We only checked to see if the car would fit my car before we purchased the bike rack, but everything worked out fine. I really like the material, sturdyness, and overall quality of this product.
I've read that someone or a few people weren't able to fit three bikes on this rack. We have 2 adult bikes and 1 children's bicycle and all three of the bikes fit fine. We've also traveled with 3 adult bikes and the fit was good as well. Just make sure you read the instructions and tips that come with the bike rack and you should have no problems.
Sturdy, easy to install June 26, 2010

I am very pleased with this bike rack. The installation was easy if you follow the directions and as soon as I got it on there once it only takes minutes now. The bike is held very sturdy although because I have a 'girl's bike' I did need to get the conversion bar. The pads are good and I've not seen any marks left on the car. I've hade it for 3 months now and am very happy with the purchase
Hey... nice rack August 2, 2010

Bought this carrier after searching and reading all the reviews I could find on models that actually had my vehicle in the fitment guide then a visit to the store to look at one. This fits our '06 Chevrolet HHR just fine and made a 3 hr trek twice on the highway at highway speeds with some crazy dips where construction met finished road with 2 'mountain bikes' loaded. No problems. One bike was my wife's high-end Roadmaster ;) 'mixte' frame which we did not need the special bar for. I see no reason to give this a bad review at this point. Read the instructions and follow the tips, make sure the straps are very tight and check them after you go a few miles because nylon straps stretch. I had my wife lift up on the loaded bars enough to take the weight off while I re-tightened the straps. Once was all it needed.
Oh, be careful not to let anything hang directly behind your exhaust pipe....just a tip.

Fit's my 2010 Toyota Corolla perfectly. Very solidly built and it doesn't seem like it will scratch the finish on my car.
